Roku Inc., a name synonymous with streaming, is undergoing a significant transformation as it diversifies beyond its core offerings.

When you watch videos online, you are using video streaming technology, a system that broadcasts video content in real-time as it is recorded.

Once a universal and pervasive medium in the analog era, the television industry is undergoing a profound digital transformation affecting all sectors of the economy and society. 

Nella prima metà del 2024, le piattaforme di video on demand (VOD) a pagamento in Italia hanno registrato un aumento degli utenti, raggiungendo 14,355 milioni di utenti unici—218.000 in più rispetto allo stesso periodo del 2023.

The Film Club is a streaming platform created to present films that are not available elsewhere to the Italian audience (with geoblocking for Italy), thereby preserving the memory of cinema.

OTT (Over-the-Top) platforms have transformed the entertainment landscape, offering a wide range of audiovisual content directly to users via the internet. But what powers their operations and generates revenue? In this article, we delve into the various methods OTT platforms use to monetize their services while continuing to provide compelling content to audiences.

New features coming to Google TV: in addition to the remote control location function, Picture-in-Picture (PiP) support will soon be available. The idea of being able to display an additional window on the screen is interesting, especially considering the success of this feature on smartphones. However, there are some limitations that may dampen the enthusiasm.

Video-on-demand platforms are experiencing different consumption dynamics, with a clear advantage for subscription-based services (SVOD) compared to ad-supported services (AVOD).

In the fourth quarter of 2023, according to RAJAR data, there was a significant shift in how the British audience consumes radio content. While only 28% still prefer traditional AM/FM listening, 43% turn to DAB and 26% to IP, with 11% using apps and websites, and a remarkable 15% through smart speakers.This last figure highlights a considerable increase in BBC listening via IP, following the BBC’s strategy of focusing access to its content on OTT platforms. But the numbers reveal more: on-demand listening through BBC Sounds, the BBC’s proprietary OTT audio platform, has grown by 55% over two years, reaching an impressive 231 million listens in Q4 2023.These figures confirm the effectiveness of the BBC’s decision to concentrate its content on its primary disintermediated platform. However, the data also suggest a potentially unexpected outcome.The BBC Sounds app recorded 149 million listens.Cridland explains that in the first quarter of 2021, the BBC Sounds app recorded 149 million radio and on-demand podcast listens, while BBC podcasts were downloaded 265 million times worldwide.In the recently published data for Q4 2023, the BBC Sounds app reported 231 million radio and on-demand podcast listens, while global BBC podcast downloads dropped to 222 million.The decline in third-party podcast listening, although considered a success by some BBC executives, is a phenomenon that requires deeper analysis as it could have significant and not necessarily positive consequences. However, it remains clear that the BBC’s decision to focus access to its content on disintermediated platforms is proving increasingly wise.The transformation toward OTT represents the new frontier for broadcasters, who must quickly adapt to become content providers without relying on traditional distribution networks such as DTT, satellite, DAB, or FM. This transformation involves not only technology but also the broadcasters’ business model.It is a change similar to that faced by record labels at the end of the last century, when sales of physical media such as records, CDs, and cassettes suffered a steady decline, leading some to predict their complete demise. However, despite the death of physical media, record labels began a slow but steady reconstruction process. This rebuilding path has led to their current extremely positive condition.

Da un po' di tempo sapevamo già che il client email Android Thunderbird per Android avrebbe preso spunto dalla popolare app K-9 Mail, che ha sempre condiviso gli stessi obiettivi del client email sviluppato da Mozilla. Nel giugno del 2022, avevamo annunciato l'unione di Mozilla Thunderbird e K-9 Mail, sottolineando anche le carenze attuali del client email "alternativo" per dispositivi Android.
